Grief counselors and therapists in Magnolia, TX

With a doctorate in developmental psychology, I bring both expertise and a down-to-earth approach to helping people find clarity and direction when life feels overwhelming. Originally from the Midwest, I’ve called Texas home for three decades, where I enjoy family life, yoga, travel, and the challenge of keeping up with too many pets. I bring warmth, experience, and a touch of humor to therapy, walking alongside clients as they navigate growth and change with compassion and perspective.

I work with both couples and individuals, using approaches that fit who you are and what you’re going through. As a parent to adult children, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to raise kids and stay connected, and how important it is to feel supported along the way. With my background as a Registered Nurse, I also bring a mind-body perspective to our work together.

Are you on the struggle bus and just can't seem to find your way? I help clients find their way by processing through anxiety, grief, or simply untangling emotions. I am a former high school counselor with 23 years experience working with teens and their families. In addition to my professional counseling experience, I compete in the dog show world and understand the unique needs of competitors. My approach is person centered counseling and I believe in joining clients on their journey towards healing. I specialize in offering a non-judgmental space that offers support and guidance to allow the client to process thoughts and emotions. I firmly believe that a good therapist should listen far more than they talk. Getting started on your therapeutic path can seem daunting! But, the first step is simply reaching out to set an appointment. Know that my clients are my priority and your healing is my passion. I will bring a sense of calm to your life along with a good dose of humor. Let's work together to help you make the changes you desire.

One of my priorities is to be open-minded. Everyone struggles with a combination of problems that are specific to them. In the same essence, every person's needs are unique and deserve specialized treatment that is best suited to them. My main areas of experience are with ADHD, Anxiety and Depression; however, I have experience in many different areas. I am committed to your journey and will help you reach your goals!

Hi, I’m Dr. Rukhsar Ali, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and stress-related challenges. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and have experience providing psychiatric care across a variety of outpatient, community, and behavioral health settings. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized—I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and involved in their treatment. Together, we'll create a plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward lasting wellness.

My name is Alexandra, though most people call me Alex.

Life can be messy, overwhelming, and at times downright exhausting. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief, relationship challenges, or navigating a major life transition, it can feel like you've lost your footing or aren't quite sure who you are anymore. I work with adolescents and adults who are looking for a space to show up as they are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that they need to have it all figured out.

I have meaningful experience supporting individuals navigating eating disorder recovery, helping clients build practical coping skills to manage urges while also exploring the deeper stories, beliefs, and emotions that shape their relationship with themselves. I also work with individuals processing grief and loss, recognizing that healing isn't about "moving on," but learning how to carry what matters while continuing to move forward.
